THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 26A 1920. j i S J Sl CHILDREN DOES GOOD WORK Mrs. S. M. Blumauer Says East ern Cities With More Money Not Showing Better' Results. "The only , difference I could see between Portland's dental" clinic for school children operated by. the Junior Red Cross and the dental clinics in the big cities of the East, is that theirs cost many times as much as ours," said Mrs. S. M. Blumauer, director of the Portland Junior Red Cross, who returned re cently from an extended Eastern trip, during which she visited the clinics in a number of th big cities. "In Cleveland the school district sets aside $42,000 annually for the dental rlinir- and thr ore nina full-time den tists and nurses, yet the work covejn only the kindergarten and the first and second grades. Denver set aside 180. 0"00 annually for medical inspection, yet there is a dental clinic In only one school, and that is the Well-known 'opportunity, school which, true to its name, offers the opportunity to any man, woman; -or child to learn what he wants to 'learn in the shortest possible time. TWO PERMA5E5T CLINICS . "So I have returned with the feel ing that the Portland children are doing an admirable piece of work and at the same time that they are reaping great benefit I can think of many ways in which the work might be expanded., the one need being money, and I am sure that when the people of Portland realize the practical, constructive work they are doing they will make this expan sion possible." The dental clinics for Portland school children began operation October 1 through the efforts of the Junior Red Cross, in cooperation with the Portland Dental association and with the full in dorsement of the school administration. 'Two permanent clinics were established, onerat the Neighborhood house in South Portland, where the pupils of the Fail ing, Terwllliger and Holman schools are cared for, and one at the city hall, where the pupils -of the Idd, Shattuck, Couch. Chapman and Davis schools are cared for. Three portable clinics have .been established, and these have already cared for th " defective teeth of the children in the Lents, Sttephens. Monta vllla, Portsmouth, St. Johns and Wood mere pchools. By means of the port able clinics, it is expected that every school in 4Jie district will be covered by the end of the year. BUTTON IS HONOR BADGE Since October 1 more than 10.000 chil dren have been examined, 1500 have been given dental care, and 5000 have been sent to their family- dentists. Some evidence of the value of the work may be had from the fact , that more than 500 toothbrushes have been sold at the clinics. When a child's teeth are put in order he is given a red button with a white star. His teem are ex amined from time to time, and only by keeping his teeth clean is he allowed to keep the button. If his mouth shows neglect, he has to give up his button. A total of $1000 per month is neces sary to carry on the work of the clin ics, and thus far but $3500 has been contributed. Twelve schools have turned over to the Junior Red Cross their full quota, indicating a 100 per cent mem bership campaign, at 25 cents per capita, and other, schools havet signi fied their intention of further Bupport of the work. . . I Sale of Stock by Farmers' Union Is Upheld in Decision Pendleton, Or., Dec. .25. Judge C. W. Phelps Friday handed down an opinion in favor of the defendants in the suits of Charles Kirk and Roy Conner against the , Farmers Union Grain agency, a corporation ; W.: W. Harrah, R. O. Earnheart.

Plaintiffs alleged that the corporation sofd them stock without authority, that $200,000 was Issued in stock when only $50,000 was authorized, and ''"that the paper was void.

With $15,000 of a $25,000 sub scription to the Hahnemann hospital already pledged by Hotarians, mem bers of the Portland Rotary club feel confident of success in their campaign to provide the hospital with a floor devoted to the restora tion of crippled children. To complete the fund the club plans an elaborate theatrical entertainment at The Auditorium, February 1. TTntil that date, shares at $10 each -will be sold to all who are interested and the certificates of contribution will include seats at the performance. A general ticket sale will be conducted after orig inal subscribers have been accommo dated. - George C. Mason, chairman of the 'Rotary - club's committee, , Baid : ' "It should be understood that the Hahne mann hospital is not a private or a money making institution. The board of trustees is composed of such men as Amedee Smith. Judge Robert Tucker, F. E. Bowman, F. C. Stealer Dr. John Besson. Frank W. Warren, William M. Ladd. Dr. David Beurer and Walter F. Burrell. "The hospital is not to be limited to any school of medicine, but is to have an open staff. It will be non-sectarian and will receive patients of any faith. It will be operated upon the most liberal lines, even to receiving patients without charge where properly certificated by a physician. "Portland is to be congratulated upon the certainty of possessing such an in stitution. . The United States government has leased the west wing of the build ing and it will be used for soldier pa tients for" five years. Due to this lease by the government, 1 will be possible through the funds available and to be raised by the Rotary club and other organisations to complete the east wing. In this, wing two entire wards will be given over to the care and attention of crippled children. The fund being raised by the Rotary club will be used to pur chase the equipment r and supplies for this department and for apparatus such' as special beds and appliances needed to correct defects In children. "It is hoped that the noble spirit with which the club has already responded will result in providing an annual fund or an endowment so that the depart ment mill be absolutely free .to needy children." SENATE FIGHT ON TIFF MEASURE SEEN IN OFFING High Protection Has Easy Sled ding in House, but Upper Body Is Expected to Pause Over It Above Registering to have their teeth examined at the Junior Red Cross dental clinic at the Neighborhood House. Center Mrs. S. M. Blumauer, head of the Junior Red Cross for Portland. Below Den ' tist administering dental care. By iAroell Mellett United News Staff Correspondent Washington, Dec. 25. The tariff bill now goes to the senate,, in which body it wiH have an almighty harder time passing than It has Just had in the lower chamber, where" it scored by 196 to 86. A formidable filibuster and be it remembered that the Democrats still have 47 seatsv to the Republicans' 49 in the upper chamber awaits it there, and the time till March 4 is all too short for the bill's success if they decide to lay down a talk barrage. ; No tariff measure of any importance ever passed , the . house so easily. Two days' consideration by -the ways and means committee and one day's debate on the floor cover the time spent, due to an effective coalition of western and southern members, botli Republicans and Democrats. CALLED TIBTUAL EMBARGO Another explanation, perhaps, lies In the contention of many members that the bill is not a tariff measure, but be cause of Its high rates Is an embargo on importation of agricultural products. The senate, it is freely predicted, will oass the bill only after long argument. and after seriously amending it, If at alL Following that there is the almost certain veto of President Wilson. Wednesday's debate had the sound of an old fashioned tariff session in the house. Miss Jeannette Rankin, former congresswoman from MontanaVenJoying the floor privilege for the nrst time since her retirement two years ago, said it was easy to tell that the speakers were speaking to convince one another, not for home consumption. But there was no evidence that anybody had been con vinced in the course of the discussion. OPPOXE2JT8 SEE ITO REVENUE While Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee estimated the revenue derivative under the bill to be $130,000,000 as against the $5,000,000 now obtained on the same commodities, op ponents declared on the floor that it could not be pretended that the bill would raise any, revenue. The schedules are too high to permit of any importa tions, they said. The schedules. Repre sentative Oldneld or Arkansas asserted, are higher than those of the Payr.e Aldrich bill. "What we need," he said, "is a market for the things we raise. This bill will make it harder for us to market the great crops now on hand in this country. It will be harder for Europe to pay for our products if Europe can sell nothing in this country' "High as the Washington monument, was the characterization of the eched ules by Collier of Mississippi. 0.
